The 20 highest-paying jobs for engineering majors

Engineering jobs pay well. To find out just how lucrative they
really are, we turned toPayScale, the creator of the world's largest
compensation database.

To find the 20 highest-paying jobs for engineering
majors, PayScale first identified the most common
jobs for those with a bachelor's degree (and
nothing more) who work full-time in the US. They
then ranked
those jobs by "Experienced Median Pay," which is the
median compensation — including base salary, bonuses,
commissions, overtime, and profit sharing (but not equity) — for
those in any given profession with a "typical amount of
experience."

Chief architects and vice president's of business
development topped the list, both earning an impressive $151,000
a year.
